"Words deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little."
–Tom Stoppard


Words surround us but how often do they change lives? Too often, barriers of language and access limit this infinite potential. And yet, song lyrics provide common ground on which all manner of personalities, races, and classes can stand to stretch and challenge our perspectives. From Common to Cole Porter, Dylan to Destiny's Child, song lyrics animate emotions, images, and ideas which might otherwise lie dormant.


On January 19th, Room to Read teams up with AERONAUT to bring to you BEERS FOR BOOKS: The Power of Words. Throughout the night, we will be tweeting the following prompts, and we want you to respond back over Twitter with song lyrics that...


...make you want to sing along.
...comfort you when you are sad or angry.
...get you out onto the dance floor.
...remind you of a different time.
...fill you with hope and happiness.


Use #RTRB4B to respond and we'll play the songs you tweet throughout the night. We'll give out free swag to tweeters throughout the night!


We are suggesting a donation of $10 to benefit Room to Read.
